Subject: Permit No. WQ0001817
Albemarle Plantation WWTF
Wastewater Irrigation System
Perquimans County
In accordance with your permit renewal request received July 1, 2019, and subsequent additional
information received October 28, 2019, we are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0001817 dated
December 31, 2019, to the Albemarle Utility Company for the continued operation of the subject
wastewater treatment and irrigation facilities.
The following modifications to the subject permit are as follows:
➢ This facility description has been edited to describe the operation of the facility at the time of
this renewal. This includes separating out the existing fields from the unconstructed fields, and
adding conditions for the construction and operation of these currently unconstructed but
permitted fields.
➢ The permitted flow of the system has been updated to reflect that this facility is limited by
disposal capacity. Permitted flow can be increased to 200,422 gallons per day (GPD) with the
establishment of the additional fields as described in Attachment B.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance through May 31, 2025, shall void Permit
No. WQ0001817 issued August 5, 2014, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations therein. The
Permittee shall submit a renewal application no later than December 2, 2024.
Please pay attention to the monitoring requirements listed Attachments A, B, and C for they may
differ from the previous permit issuance. Failure to establish an adequate system for collecting and
maintaining the required operational information shall result in future compliance problems.
The Division has removed the following permit conditions since the last permit issuance dated
August 5, 2014:
➢ Old Condition I.2. — This condition has been removed.
➢ Old Condition II.7. — This condition has been removed.
➢ Old Condition II.14. — This condition has been removed.

➢ Attachment A — Flow has been changed to reflect that the limiting factor for flow in the permit
is based on the current disposal capacity of the fields at the time of permitting. The monitoring
parameters of Total Residual Chlorine, Total Nitrogen, and Total Nitrate have been added
effluent monitoring. Monitoring for Nitrite plus Nitrate, Total (as N) (PCS Code #00630) has
been changed to Nitrogen, Nitrate Total (as N) (PCS Code #00620). Sampling frequencies have
been changed.
➢ Attachment B — This attachment has been edited to separate out the constructed fields and
unconstructed fields.
➢ Attachment C — The parameter of Total Phosphorus has been added to groundwater monitoring.
Monitoring for Volatile Components, (GC/MS) (PCS Code #78732) has changed to Volatile
Compounds, (GW) (PCS Code #GWVOC).
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, the Permittee
has the right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within 30 days following receipt of
this permit. This request shall be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North
Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings at 6714 Mail Service
Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-6714. Otherwise, this permit shall be final and binding.

STALLINGS, HEARING EXAMINER: On September 16, 2001, Albemarle
Plantation Utility Company, Inc. (Applicant) filed an application with the Commission
seeking a certificate of public convenience and necessity to provide sewer utility service
in Albemarle Plantation Subdivision, Phases 1 and 2 (Subdivision).
In an order issued on December 23, 2002, the Commission scheduled this matter
for hearing and required customer notice.
In a letter to the Commission filed on December 30, 2002, the Applicant
requested temporary operating authority and approval of interim rates.

On February 17, 2003, the Public Staff filed the affidavit of Calvin C. Craig,
Utilities Financial Analyst with the Economics Research Division, and on February 26,
2003, the Public Staff filed the affidavits of Laura Bradley Stewart, Staff Accountant with
the Accounting Division, and Jack Floyd, Utilities Engineer with the Water Division.
On February 21, 2003, the Applicant filed the Certificate of Service indicating that
customer notice had been given as directed by the Commission.
The hearing was held on March 11, 2003 as scheduled in Hertford, North
Carolina. Testimony was received from the following customers: Wesley Brown,
President of the Albemarle Plantation Property Owners Association; Carol Medford;
John Holland; Jeanette Kettle; Frank Mizak; David Jenkins; and Robert Cool. Counsel
for the Applicant made a statement on the Applicant's behalf. The affidavits of Public
Staff witnesses Craig, Stewart and Floyd were admitted in evidence.
On March 24, 2003, the Commission received notice that the Applicant had filed
a $50,000 bond with the Commission.
On March 26, 2003, the Applicant filed a motion renewing its request for
temporary operating authority and interim rates. The Commission has not ruled on this
request, and with the issuance of this Recommended Order the request is now moot.
Based upon the application, the Commission's records, and the affidavits
received in evidence, the Hearing Examiner makes the following
FINDINGS OF FACT
1 The Applicant is properly before the Commission seeking a sewer utility
franchise for service in Albemarle Plantation Subdivision, Phases 1 and 2, in
Perquimans County, North Carolina.
2. The service area consists of approximately 1,000 lots within phases 1 and
2 of the Subdivision. The Applicant presently has 253 residential customers and five
commercial customers representing eight residential equivalent units (REUs).
3. The Applicant operates a 78,000-gallon per day spray irrigation
wastewater system consisting of a 1.88 million gallon treatment lagoon, a 19.55 million
gallon storage lagoon, gaseous chlorine for disinfection, and approximately 65.8 acres
of spray irrigation fields for disposal.
4. The appropriate amount of plant in service, net of accumulated
depreciation, for the Applicant is $99,921. This amount excludes the costs of the
wastewater treatment facilities and the main from the Subdivision entrance to the
treatment plant.
E

5. The Applicant requested approval of a $41.50 per month rate for sewer
utility service. The Public Staff agreed with the Applicant's request but proposed that it
be modified as follows:
Residential Service: $41.50 per month
Commercial Service:
$41.50 per REU
The Applicant agreed to the Public Staff's proposed modification. With this modification,
the rate proposed by the Applicant is not unreasonable.
6. The requested rates, with the modification recommended by the Public
Staff, will generate an annual revenue of approximately $129,978.
7. The Applicant requested approval of a tank cleaning fee of $300 and a
pump replacement fee of $950. These services are performed on property individually
owned by each customer, and customers are under no obligation to use the Applicant to
perform them. Accordingly, these are not utility services, and the fees charged are not
subject to regulation by the Commission.
8. The Applicant should be allowed a connection fee of $1,500, which will be
applicable to all lots that have not been sold as of the date this Recommended Order
becomes final and effective.
9. The Applicant is compliant with regulations of the North Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural Resources' Division of Water Quality (DWQ).
There are concerns with the system's capacity, which the Applicant is working with
DWQ to resolve.
10. The Applicant has the technical, managerial, and financial capacity to
provide sewer utility service in the Albemarle Plantation Subdivision.
11. The bond posted by the Applicant on March 24, 2003 is adequate for this
proceeding, and is based on the facts that:
a. The Applicant holds no other franchises in this State; however, it
has operated the sewer treatment system at no charge for years.
Its record of operation is satisfactory.
b. The Applicant presently serves 258 customers. With planned
expansions of the service area, the Applicant may eventually serve
900 customers.
C. It is likely that the system will have to be expanded to
accommodate future customer growth. In fact, the Applicant is
3

currently expanding its spray fields to address immediate capacity
concerns.
d. The existing collection, treatment, anddisposal facilities are
approximately 10 years old. They are in good condition. It is not
expected that any of them will have to be replaced anytime soon.
e. The spray irrigation system is not a mechanically intensive system;
however, as with any nondischarge system, the ability of the
lagoons and spray fields to assimilate the wastewater are
significantly influenced by weather conditions and soil conditions, to
the extent that future capacity may require significant capital to
expand the lagoons and to find additional spray fields for disposal.
The Applicant already has ownership of, or has the option to
acquire ownership of, land contiguous to the existing facility for
expansion.
12. It is in the public convenience and necessity that the Applicant be allowed
a sewer utility franchise for service in the Albemarle Plantation Subdivision.
13. The parties have waived the right to file exceptions to this Recommended
Order and have agreed that it may become effective immediately upon issuance.
EVIDENCE AND CONCLUSIONS FOR FINDINGS OF FACT 1-3 AND 6-13
The evidence for these findings is contained in the verified application filed in this
docket and the affidavits of the Public Staff. No one contested these findings. Based
upon these findings, as well as Findings 4 and 5 discussed below, the Hearing
Examiner is of the opinion that the franchise for sewer utility service in the Albemarle
Plantation Subdivision, Phases 1 and 2 should be granted, and the rates requested by
the Applicant, as modified by the Public Staff (including the requested connection fee,
but not the tank cleaning and pump replacement fees) should be approved.
EVIDENCE AND CONCLUSIONS FOR FINDING OF FACT 4
The evidence supporting this finding of fact appears in the affidavit of Public Staff
witness Stewart. Witness Stewart stated that she had removed from plant in service the
costs of the treatment plant and the main from the Subdivision entrance to the plant.
She made this adjustment based on the advice of counsel, because of the statement in
the Property Report for the Subdivision that "[t]he central treatment plant and sewer
lines are being constructed at no cost to you." Witness Stewart further stated that
notwithstanding this adjustment, her review of the application showed that the
Applicant's proposed rates were not unreasonable and would not be unfair to its
customers.
0

Counsel for the Applicant stated at the hearing that the Applicant disagreed with
the exclusion of the costs of the treatment plant and the main leading to the treatment
plant from plant in service. However, the Applicant was willing to accept the rate
recommended by the Public Staff, so long as it retained the right to contest the
exclusion of these costs in a future rate case.
The Hearing Examiner notes that for purposes of this case, the propriety of the
Public Staff's adjustment to plant in service is an academic issue. The Applicant's rates
will be the same regardless of whether the adjustment is adopted or not. Consequently,
it is appropriate to approve the adjustment for this case, without prejudice to the
Applicant's right to contest it in any future case where it has an actual impact on rates.
EVIDENCE AND CONCLUSIONS FOR FINDING OF FACT 5
The evidence relating to this finding of fact appears in the application, the
affidavits of Public Staff witnesses Floyd and Stewart, and the testimony of the public
witnesses.
Some of the public witnesses testified that the language cited by the Public Staff
from the Property Report amounted to an assurance that they should not be charged
any fees at all for wastewater treatment, and therefore the Applicant's proposed rates
should be rejected altogether. As discussed above, the Public Staff has interpreted this
language to mean that customers will not be charged for the costs of constructing the
treatment system. The Applicant objects to the Public Staff's interpretation, but has
agreed to accept the Public Staff's adjustment to plant in service for this case only,
reserving the right to contest the issue in a future case. In the Hearing Examiner's
judgment, regardless of whether the language in the Property Report was intended to
relieve customers from the costs of constructing the wastewater treatment system, it
clearly was not intended to relieve them from the costs of operating the system, and
therefore the public witnesses' position cannot be accepted.
Certain public witnesses noted that when the Subdivision is completed, the
Applicant may serve as many as 900 customers. For this reason, they contended, the
operating costs of the system should be divided among 900 customers, rather than
among the 258 customers currently receiving service. However, the Hearing Examiner
notes that it is impossible to know when, or if, all lots in the Subdivision will be sold. If
all lots are sold, the capacity of the treatment system will have to be expanded, resulting
in increased operating costs. G.S. 62-133 requires that rates be determined on the
basis of historical experience rather than future expectations. Therefore, the Applicant
and Public Staff have properly calculated rates based on the number of customers
presently being served.
Finally, a number of public witnesses expressed the opinion that $41.50 per
month is an excessive rate for wastewater treatment, especially since the Applicant
requires each customer to install a septic tank and take responsibility for disposal of
5

solids in the tank. They noted that many municipalities provide complete sewer service
for a lower rate than the Applicant proposes to charge. However, under North Carolina
law a utility's rates must be based on its own operating costs, not on rates charged by
other utilities or municipalities. Many municipal utilities discharge their effluent into
streams and are able to operate at a lower cost than the Applicant's sprayfield system;
in addition, municipalities can generally spread their fixed costs among a larger number
of customers than the Applicant has. As the testimony of witness Stewart indicates, the
Public Staff reviewed the Applicant's operating costs and determined that the proposed
rate of $41.50 per month is not unreasonable.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED:
1. That Albemarle Plantation Utility Company, Inc. is granted a Certificate of
Public Convenience and Necessity to provide sewer utility service in the Albemarle
Plantation Subdivision, Phases 1 and 2 in Perquimans County, North Carolina.
2. That Appendix A constitutes the Certificate of Public Convenience and
Necessity.

Order, provided the Applicant has filed the Certificate of Service by that date.

Albemarle Plantation Utility Company, Inc.
6. That the Notice to Customers, attached as Appendix C, be mailed with

1. For the consideration hereinafter stated, and for other good and valuable
considerations, the Landlord hereby leases to the Tenant the property located in
Perquimans County, NC, more particularly described as follows:
See attached Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference
TERM OF LEASE
2. The initial term of this lease shall be twenty (20) years, commencing on January

terms exercised under this option shall accrue rent as outlined below in Paragraph
3.
RENT
3. The Tenant shall pay the Landlord rent in the amount of $33,700.00 per year, in
advance, on the first day of each year throughout the initial term of this lease.

shall be $43,010.69 per year.
REAL ESTATE TAXES
4. The Landlord shall pay all real estate taxes on the leased property for so long as
this lease remains in effect and as long as the value used to determine taxes owed
is based on the discounted present use value as agricultural land (pursuant to
N.C.G.S. 105-277), which use and valuation results is deferred taxation. If the
applicable tax value changes as a result of the Tenant's use of the property and the
Landlord loses the benefit of the discounted present agricultural land use
valuation, the Landlord shall be responsible for the taxes owed up to the amount
that would have been owed under the discounted present agricultural land use
valuation. The Tenant shall be responsible for the remaining amounts above the
amount that would have been owed under said present agricultural land use
valuation. If deferred taxes become due during the term of this lease, the Landlord
shall be responsible for any deferred taxes that accrued during the time period
prior to the beginning of the term of this lease. The Tenant shall be responsible for
any deferred taxes that become due during the term of the lease that accrued
during the time period after the beginning of the term of this lease.
USE OF PROPERTY
5. The Tenant may use and occupy the lease property for residential or commercial
purposes, including use as a drain field for sewage treatment. Nothing contained
herein shall prohibit the Tenant from taking any action which is necessary or
incidental to treatment of sewage on said property, including application to the
land of chemicals for the treatment of sewage. The Tenant shall not use or
knowingly permit any part of the leased property to be used for any unlawful
purpose. During Tenants occupancy of the premises, Tenant shall be obligated to
take soil samples on an annual basis and provide the results to the Landlord. The

Tenant must take action to ensure that soil indexes are maintained at a level equal
to or greater than the current soil indexes (hereinafter "initial soil indexes"). The
current soil indexes shall be established from the results of soil testing conducted
by the State of North Carolina on soil samples drawn under the supervision of
both Tenant and Landlord, within 30 days from the signing of this agreement
Both the Landlord and Tenant shall have the right to require re -testing if, in their
individual discretion, they believe that the initial test results contain errors. If the
annual tests reveal that the soil index levels have fallen below the established
initial levels, the Tenant must take curative measures to re-establish the soil index
at levels greater than or equal to the initial soil indexes. The Tenant shall have 60
days to take such measures at Tenant's sole expense, before the soil shall be re-
tested. If the re -test results indicate the soil index levels are still deficient, the
Tenant shall have 60 days after the receipt of the re -test results to cure the
deficiency, at Tenant's sole expense. If the Tenant fails to cure the deficiency
within 60 days, the tenant shall then be in default and the default provisions
contained in Paragraph 12 shall go into effect.
COVENANT OF QUIET POSSESSION
6. The Tenant upon the payment of the rent herein noted and upon the performance
of all the terms of this lease, shall at all times during the lease term quietly enjoy
the lease property without any disturbance from the Landlord or any other person
claiming through the Landlord.
REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE
7. The Tenant shall, during the term of this lease and any renewal or extension
thereof, at his sole expense, keep any improvements situated on the leased
property in as good order and repair as it is at the date of the commencement of

Throughout the term of this lease, the Tenant, at his sole expense, will take good
care of the leased property and will make all ordinary repairs thereto.

exterior walls and roof of the building in good order and repair. The Tenant shall
maintain in good working order and repair all plumbing, toilet facilities and other
fixtures and equipment installed for the general supply of hot and cold water, heat,
air conditioning, and the electricity.

written consent of the Landlord. Upon such assignment, transfer or sublease, the

12. During the term of this lease, if the leased property shall be deserted or vacated,

other covenant, agreement, condition, rule or regulation herein contained or
hereafter established on the part of the Tenant for more than sixty (60) days after
written notice of the Tenant's default by the Landlord, this lease (if the Landlord
so elects) shall thereupon become null and void, and the Landlord shall have the
right to reenter or repossess the leased property, and dispossess and remove
therefrom the Tenant, or other occupants thereof, and their effects, without being

liable to any prosecution therefor. In such case, the Landlord shall repossess the
leased property, and the Tenant shall pay the Landlord the difference between the
fair market use value at the time of repossession and the rent agreed to be paid by
the Tenant for the portion of the term remaining at the time of reentry or
repossession.

action of the elements or acts of negligence of occupants of the subject property or
adjacent property. The Tenant shall indemnify and defend the Landlord and the
leased property, at the Tenant's expense, against all claims, expenses, and
liabilities arising from the management of or any occurrence on or about the leased

LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO SELL PREMISES DURING THE LEASE TERM
17. At any time during the 20-year term of this lease, the Tenant shall have the option

in this paragraph. Upon the Tenant's written notification to the Landlord of the
Tenant's intention to purchase, the Tenant shall have twelve (12) months to close
on said purchase. This option to purchase and purchase price for said property
shall apply to the following time periods of this lease. If the option is exercised
before December 31, 2022, the purchase price shall be $421,250.00; if the option to
purchase is exercised from January 1, 2023 until December 31, 2027, then purchase
price shall be $442,000.00; if the option is exercised from January 2028 until

annual rent as listed in Paragraph 3 above. Payment of this rent (or a refund to
the Tenant if closing occurs prior to the expiration of the current pre -paid annual
period) shall be due at closing and in addition to the purchase price. At the closing,
Seller will make, execute and deliver to said buyer a good and sufficient deed for
said land in fee simple with general warranty and free from encumbrances upon
the Buyer's tender of the purchase price in the amounts as outlined above. At
closing, Seller shall pay for preparation of a deed and all other documents
necessary to perform Seller's obligations under this agreement, for excise tax

to secure the balance of the purchase price unpaid at closing. As to this paragraph,
time is of the essence.
Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, nothing herein shall preclude payment

Revenue Code, section 1031.
TENANT'S OPTION TO PURCHASE THE PREMISES AFTER LEASE
TERMINATES
18. At any time during the 20-year term of this lease, the Tenant shall have the right
to purchase said property from the Landlord pursuant to paragraph 17 above.
6

Additionally, at the expiration of the twenty (20) year term of this lease and all
extensions thereof as set forth in Paragraph 2 above, the Tenant has the option to
purchase the said property at a price to be agreed upon by the Landlord and
Tenant. In the event Tenant waives its right to exercise the option to purchase the
property then and in such case, possession of the property shall immediately be
returned to the Landlord. In the event Tenant exercises its right to purchase the
property, Landlord and Tenant shall have 120 days to close on the purchase of said
property. Rent during the 120-day closing period shall be paid by the Tenant to
Landlord on a pro -rated basis, based on the annual rent set out in Paragraph 3
above. Payment of this rent shall be due at closing and in addition to the purchase
price. At the dosing, Seller will make, execute and deliver to said buyer a good
and sufficient deed for said land in fee simple with general warranty and free from
encumbrances upon the Buyer's tender of the agreed upon purchase price. If
either the Tenant or Landlord fail to close on the purchase of said property at the
expiration of the 120-day "closing period", the Landlord or the Tenant shall have
the right to enforce this obligation at law or in equity, including expressly the
remedy of specific performance. At closing, Seller shall pay for preparation of a
deed and all other documents necessary to perform Seller's obligations under this
agreement, and for excise tax (revenue stamps), and land transfer tax required by
law. Buyer shall pay for recording the deed and for preparation and recording of
all instruments required to secure the balance of the purchase price unpaid at
closing.

19. This agreement is contingent on:
(a) Tenant's receipt of satisfactory soil testing results which indicate that the land
is optimal for Tenant's intended use as a drainfield for sewage treatment.
(b) Tenant's receipt of all State and Federal permits necessary for the use of this
property as a drainfield for sewage treatment, including, but not limited to, a
permit allowing Tenant to apply effluent chemicals used for sewage treatment

Landlord has fee simple ownership of said property and that said property is
free from encumbrances, including, but not limited to any liens, deeds of trust
or restrictive covenants or covenants which materially adversely affect
Tenant's intended use.
7

Tenant may waive in writing any and all of these contingencies, but unless waived
or satisfied, the failure to satisfy any contingency shall null and void this lease.
